History ComicBook / WackyRaceland

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: Both played straight and inverted due to the more realistic designs. Dick Dastardely now looks like Johnny Depp while the Ant Hill Mob resemble goblins.

* CrapsackWorld: Mutants that will eat you and ''make you watch.'' Nanite swarms stripping you to the bone. Radiation everywhere.

* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: The trope namer, as always. Deconstructed as it keeps on backfiring even worst than in the cartoon and usually nearly kills ''everyone'', making them want to kill him.
* MadScientist: Pat Pending. It is revealed that he was part of [[spoiler: The Butcher Shop, the mysterious organization that created all the horrific creatures and hazards that tore apart the world. Plus, he is shown to be directly responsible for the experiments that created Muttley and the Ant Hill Gang, and for bringing back the Slag Brothers from their frozen grave (with the only purpose of seeing them kill each other).]]

* AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Peter Perfect, as ever...this goes even worse for him than in the original, since by the time he's trying to rescue Penny she's already gotten herself out of trouble...and to her exasperation she ends up having to save him instead. In a mythology gag the Ant Hill Mob offer to help when Penelope faces down a licentious mutant in the bar, although once she politely says she doesn't need any help they happily get on with their own fight.

%% * BarBrawl: One occurs between the racers and the other patrons in a desert bar.

%% * AdaptationalAttractiveness: Both played straight and inverted due to the more realistic designs.

* {{Xenafication}}: While never exactly helpless (especially in [[WesternAnimation/ThePerilsOfPenelopePitstop her own show]]), the new Penelope is a badass who drives around in a fetish catsuit, kicks ass all on her own and, when her car breaks down, rides an eldritch abomination to win the race.

* RaceLift: Pat Pending went from the typical gray haire white scientist to a bald black scientist.

* {{Transsexual}}: Private Meekly is a trans woman, in a departure likely meant to avert TheSmurfettePrinciple. When Red Baron makes gross remarks at Meekly, she angrily tells him that she was never a man but a "damn fabulous woman".

%% * AfterTheEnd

%% * AlliterativeName: The same ones as the show, of course.

%% * TheAlcoholic: Lazy Luke.

* MythologyGag: A few most notably Penelope and the Ant Hill Mob are clearly friendly and they rush to her aid during the bar brawl...not that she needs their help, but she's still happy to see them.

* RaceLift: Pat Pending is a black man.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dick Dastardly's MulticoloredHair is dark purple and red.

Oh, and this is based on ''WesternAnimation/WackyRaces''.

* MsFanservice: Penelope Pitstop now dresses in a latex catsuit and gimp hood. Since she's first since in normal clothes just before recruitment and this outfit was given to her by the announcer this may have been an intended trope in universe as well.

* AllGermansareNazis: The Red Baron sings the praises of the Announcer by calling her an Aryan Goddess who is giving him a chance to create a new "Master Race".

* BarBrawl: One occurs among the racers.

* DickDastardlyStopsToCheat: The trope namer, as always

->"Before there was the race, there were the racers; fighting, starving, killing, despairing. The post-apocalyptic world is a Darwinian crucible where warriors are either forged or consumed. I wait patiently or each individual's lowest moment, and then approach them with offers of utopia in exchange for the race. I am the Announcer, and this is my function."
-->-The Announcer

'''''Wacky Raceland''''' is a comic book by Creator/DCComics set in a messy, ugly, dangerous world where racers take part in deadly races. The competitors have been promised the last place on Earth where a human could thrive if they win. The others will be left to die in this dark ''Film/MadMax''–inspired hell.

This comic book provides examples of:

* SentientVehicle: The Announcer has given the cars awareness, intelligence, memory, and even the ability to talk. Mean Machine is quite vocally disdainful of Dick and Muttley.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Dick Dastardly has MulticoloredHair that's dark purple and red.
